Brentwood Academy Football

[silentchampion16]

The recruiting discussion is cliche and based completely upon either hearsay, bias, or, in some cases, perhaps jealousy.  If it were based on empirical fact, it would be a valuable topic; since it is not, it can accomplish nothing beneficial.

 

If you have solid evidence, send it to the TSSAA.  Otherwise, keep it off our message boards.

Just driving down the road in my new Benz, checking the time on my new Rolex, both of which Coach Flatt payed for out of his own pocket. What ever, that is such bull. 2 things I know about BA, anyone that was or thought they were good at Fball, BA recruited them. Also, everyone has beat, just killed BA...... in a scrimmage. Again, more bull. For years I have heard statements such as "yeah, BA wanted me, Carlton Flatt came to my house and offered me a scholarship." Those people are so stupid. I ask " why didn't you go there? You mean you didn't want to play for the best program in the state, for one of the best HS coaches in the history of HS Fball?" Maybe it was the simple fact that Coach had never heard of them. Maybe some of them are just idiots. BA does not have to recruit, playing for state championships does the recruiting for BA. Sure they have not won state for a while now, but they are still consistantly playing for that GOLD FOOTBALL. If your not familiar w/ the GOLD FOOTBALL, go check out BA's trophy case. You can look at 9 of them along with 10 or so Silver Footballs. As for the scholarships, the correct term would be financial aid. All of the DII schools offer assistance on a need basis. Remember? BA Went to the Supreme Court, battled, defended and just like the Fball team, they won. Thus, a few years later DII was born. Anyone that qualifies, can receive aid. Not just athletes, anyone can get aid. So, you tell me what is fair, turning a smart talented kid away from school because his family can not afford 15 grand a yr or giving that kid the opportunity to attend a fine academic, athletic, christian school. You tell me what is fair.

No problem ; I was a little concerned until I saw the above.

Brentwood Academy recruited in the past. I know. They do not deny this. If anyone tells you differntly they are mistaken. I have the experience, class ring, and yearbook to prove it.

First of all "recruiting" per say is legal. So, I would not doubt that they have admitted it. The supreme court ruled that promoting your program is free speech. "Undo influence" is not legal. No one was able to present any credible evidence to any of the courts that this ever happened. Therefore BA emerged victorious.

You my friend are correct. I am not speaking of the legal defintion of the word. I am speaking of being able to go to school there because of talents. Lets not get into a Clilnton what "is" is. I understand that many schools attract students for many reasons, I contend that a reason could be athletic promise. Nothing in the world wrong with this process. That does not mean that an a student was given tuition based on their potential ability to preform on the athletic field.

I do not know about accusations. I do know that students were afforded the chance to attend Brentwood Academy based on athletic ablility. End of Story.

I agree, i think Eagles09 was looking for a fight.. but i am going to give my honest opinnion of BA this yr.. from what i have heard they are not as good as they were last year, they have two explosive backs and an excellent WR, but graduated alot of the offensive line and from what i remember last year, their secondary consisted alot of seniors and defensive line also had alot of seniors.. thats the honest opinnion you asked for Eagles09

 

on the case of recruiting- wether it happened or not, BA was found innocent, as for other private school posters critizing BA, they need to go ahead and quit, because EVERY DII-AAA school has done some type of "recruiting"
